Question

I have a subclass of AVAudioPlayer and within that subclass I have a method for stopping the current player and (for reasons I won’t explain) manually calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying like this:

// Handles stopping the player and calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying
- (void) stopPlayerForTimedRepeat {

    // Stop the player
    [self stop];

    // Manually call the audio player callback
    EditPlayListViewController *playlistController = [[EditPlayListViewController alloc] init];
    [playlistController audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:self successfully:YES];
    [playlistController release];

}

However, when I call audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying manually like this, all of my variables in the original EditPlaylistViewController fall out of scope.

How do I avoid this so that I still have access to all of my original variables?

Answer 1

I figured out a better way to do this without manually calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying so that all the variables will still be within scope.

// Handles stopping the player and calling audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying
- (void) stopPlayerForTimedRepeat {

    // Fast forward the call to the end, which will also call audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying
    [self setCurrentTime:[self duration]];

}
